Chapter 866 Expansion & Trades

Michael gazed at the unconscious Dragys for a while.

'I wouldn't consider them a typical evil race like the Kitsun, but it's mostly the Will playing the Dragys and the Untamed Jungle. The Untamed Jungle will never like the Dragys and deploy more monsters at them. But why is this Lordess so adamant about burning the Untamed Jungle's heart?'

Even though Michael procured a decent amount of information, he still lacked a lot. He had many questions, but nobody could answer all of them. Michael considered killing the Awakened and Summons for a moment. Devouring their bodies with Swallow Domain would remove all traces of their existence. It wouldn't be difficult to return to the Pentagon Fort, leaving the Dragys Lordess unaware of what happened to her subordinates. But Michael didn't want to hazard it. Furthermore, the group of Dragys lying before him wasn't evil either. There might be bad Dragys somewhere, but the batch of Awakened and Summons wasn't among them.

So, instead of killing them, Michael retrieved the Needle of Lost Memories after gathering as many useful pieces of information as possible. He used the Needle on the Dragys, ensuring they would forget everything that had happened in the last few hours. They might have been unconscious for a while now, but Michael didn't want to risk anything. Michael would much rather do too much than miss something crucial. Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

Once done, Michael scanned the surroundings for monsters and disappeared after he noticed that no more predators were anywhere close by.

'The Dragys Lordess could be troublesome to deal with. It's a good thing she's not even close to the core region of the Untamed Jungle. But her intent is worrisome... Destroying the Untamed Jungle...'

Michael didn't like it but was unwilling to throw his people into a losing battle. There was no need to risk anything right now.

Nonetheless, he subconsciously registered the Lordess as a threat and potential enemy. Michael returned to his territory to learn that the settlements in the Untamed Jungle were full to the brim. A few days ago, the Pentagon-Fort crossed the population limit of 1.5 million.

Michael was fairly sure the Valyr offered so many resources only because they realized they had gone too far. It was an attempt to mend their relationship. Of course, Michael accepted their offer. He would be foolish to reject extra resources. That didn't mean he forgave them, though. Michael was still uncertain what he should do with the Valyr.

But one thing was certain: The Valyr in the Savannah Region weren't a threat to him anymore. Michael could enter the Savannah Region alone and remove the Valyr's territory from existence. That was true before he studied under the Nest Leader and even more so after he returned from the Spring of Abundant Life.

Even Hiraku and some other High Awakened of his territory should be strong enough to deal with most of the Valyr's powerhouses. There was no need to be scared of them. One wrong move and Michael would order their death. It was that simple.

However, some things weren't quite as simple.

Michael's mind, for example, was known for overthinking everything possible.

The same mind struggled to figure out what happened to Alice, Kaleb, and the others.

He would find them and ensure their safe retreat. It was just a matter of time. Michael was certain of that.

Still, he couldn't help but worry about their well-being.

"Where the hell are you guys?"
